So, after a hugely busy week last week where I had to attempt to do about 2 weeks worth of work in 6 days, I'm back on track, getting more sleep, and fully recovered. We do a lot of travelling over the weekends so there is no guarantee that you're ever going to get to rest you need on the weekends, but thankfully I was able to get some much needed sleep the past couple days. We were planning on travelling this weekend and being gone for almost three days, but unfortunately I am not going to be able to join them. With all of the girl's clubs that my aunt has going, she thought it would be a good idea if every week I went to a different club and did a little English workshop with the girls. I really liked the idea and so far it's been a blast. (The last one I went to all the girls mobbed me and started jumping up and down chanting "Tia Dani! Tia Dani!". It was really cute) I had another club this Saturday when we're supposed to be up in the mountains so the whole family is going up without me. I was actually kind of looking forward to this and hoping that this would mean I could have the house to myself for the weekend. I could go hang out with some friends and just get to be by myself for a change. No such luck. My aunt finally laid out the plan this afternoon and said that since they obviously couldn't leave me in the house alone, (I don't know where she got this ridiculous notion), that I would be staying with the housekeeper and her husband for the weekend. This could be fun, but I'm a little nervous about staying somewhere where the only known English phrase is "Please close the door". It should be fun and good experience, but I'm getting a little tired of being drug around. I'm feeling the need to be a little more independant than I feel like I have the freedom to be. Since my aunt and uncle have never really had any contact with me, especially as an adult, a lot of the time I feel like I'm 12. A bit frustrating, but other than that I'm really having a great time. I have a lot more stuff to do now and that feels good. I hate feeling useless.
